Akami

The Akami are a race of beings whose society is based on masters and slaves. To control the slave population, special stones are used. Some are for healing, some are for companionship, one in particular allows the leader to transfer his consciousness into a new body at the end of his life.

Tangled up in this plot are Logan Echolls and Jack Harkness.

Logan and Jack break into Atizi Tech, a subsidiary of Shi Corp. They do some looking around and find an interesting orb. It's a resurrection orb used by the Akami to keep their soldiers going even when wounded. In reality, it keeps the coming back to life. In an unfortunate twist of fate, Logan is killed in a robbery and Jack panics. He uses the orb and sets off an unforeseeable chain of events. They find out from some stolen paperwork that the orb is not enough. Logan needs a rare herb to take in conjunction with it to keep it working.

Following up a job, Jack and Logan go to meet with Josef Kostan. It turns out the orb had been his and had been stolen. He gives Jack the book that goes with the orb and the pair find out they are in over their heads. For the orb to work, Logan either needs a rare herb or the blood of a vampire and the blood of a mortal, which is an approximation of Akami blood. Jack does whatever it takes to keep Logan alive.

Not put off by the threats, Jack and Logan investigate the Daleks. They break into Josef's office and find out where the parts have been sent.

Jack sets out to get the younger man back.

After a contest of wits, Jack gets Logan back but they are both incredibly injured. Jack takes care of Logan so they can get home, but ignores his own wounds. Once they find a door, they come through the Red Room and encounter Ginger. She patches Jack up and Logan takes him home where they take a drastic measure to counter the pixie venom. And then they talk a bit about how Logan kind of liked some of the things Nephamael did to him…and they play some games in a far less dangerous enviroonment.

Joseph offers the boys a job, warning Jack that he is wanted somewhere in the galaxy before sending them on their way. It isn't long before the Judoon catch up to them though. There is a great escape, friendly aliens, and a broken down ship that Jack is more than happy to fix.

With the systems up and running, Torchwood gets a blip. Jack and Logan go to track it down. It's just space junk, but it's cool space junk. After investigating it enough to find out it's an alien kitchen appliance, Jack and Logan call it a night.

5-3
Jack and Logan track down a couple of artifacts that are related to the mysterious objects keeping Logan alive. They steal them from a display at the amusement park and then work on figuring them out. Things do not go as smoothly as one might hope, but there's still enough time and energy to wind up in bed. After that, Logan begins to get sick and they find that the object they stole is actually a different Akami stone. One that can keep Logan alive without the orb or the blood. The catch is that Jack has to feed it to him and they become bound.
